Incredible enthusiasm - Ke Qianhua, children's book reviewer's charming vitality - Song Pei, Lecturer, School of Humanities, Chung Yuan University, Taiwan A: Belinda, who loves to dance, has a pair of Bigfoot, who would have thought she could dance and dance so well? Maybe we will accidentally be like the judges in the book and have preconceived notions about her, without even giving her a chance to explain and prove.

However, Belinda's big feet did not hinder her ability. Perhaps it was because of her hard practice that her steps were light and flexible. Therefore, her problem is not her feet, but the discrimination of others, especially the denial of her by authority figures with social status.

Although most people don’t have as big feet as she does, the difficulties she encountered may also happen to us. Whether we are adults or children, it is inevitable that we will encounter people who do not understand us and are unwilling to reason with us, making us feel misunderstood and underestimated.

Sometimes those people have more power than us and will actually undermine the results of our efforts. Just like Belinda, who has worked hard for a long time but cannot get recognition, we will probably feel as frustrated as she does. Not only was Belinda unable to perform, but what was worse was that she began to doubt herself and lost her confidence.

Fortunately, although she sadly gave up dancing, she did not completely give up on herself. She was still willing to continue to be a useful person, live a meaningful life, and work hard as before. Thinking back from the subsequent development of the story, her attitude towards life did not let a major setback become a permanent end, but turned it into a temporary rest.

When the opportunity presented itself, she bravely started again. Such waiting and persistence require a lot of mental energy, and there must be enthusiasm in it.

The most incredible thing about Belinda is probably not her feet, but the passion in her body that can never be extinguished. Sometimes it emerges like a living spring, sometimes it flows like an undercurrent, making her unable to help but want to Beat time to the music and can't help but stretch and jump. From the picture, it seems that Belinda, who is usually shy, becomes completely different when she dances.

Her expression and posture when dancing show great joy and confidence, as if she is doing something she likes to do and does well, full of charming vitality. The harmonious colors and clever lines in the painting make the protagonist's big feet not obtrusive and funny, and the whole painting presents an elegant and interesting temperament.

The images are filled with melody and movement, echoing the rhythm of the story. How beautiful Belinda danced on the stage of the Metropolitan Theatre! People witnessed her enthusiasm, skills, abilities, focus, and confidence.

In the final applause and flowers, others no longer cared about her big feet, and she knew better what she should care about.

That window not only comes from the gift of God, but also from the persistence that is comparable to "God". We use It can create many opportunities. When Belinda accepted the invitation to conduct, although she looked plain on the outside, I believe that her heart was already surging; although there was only a smile on her face, I believe that her heart had been coated with honey and put on... A piece of toffee... "Where there is a will, there is a way." It is no exaggeration to describe Belinda. Perhaps, the meaning and meaning of the word "will" are already clear at a glance.
